Chapter 493 Crimson: You think you're right for cheating? Take this punch!
"Warning! Warning!"
"Paradise Guardian Dragon — Incapacitated —"
After Guleton fell, Pipa AI, who had been motionless for some time, suddenly spoke, repeating the same words over and over again.
The inside of the time machine also began to flash red.
It wasn't until Qingyu got a little annoyed that it finally quieted down for a few seconds.
Then, she returned to the way she was when she was first "possessed," suddenly standing up straight, her pair of scarlet laser eyes locking onto Qingyu.
"The park's final defense protocol has been breached!"
"The program encountered an error and is searching for alternative solutions —"
"Paradise—is indestructible!"
"Automatic annihilation mode activated, locking onto key targets —"
???
Qingyu was initially a little uninterested, thinking that even Guleton had been defeated by him, so what kind of trouble could this AI robot possibly cause?
But when it uttered its last sentence and its gaze remained fixed on him without wavering, Qingyu was genuinely startled.
No, what is meant by "annihilation mode"?
And stop glaring at me, hey! If you can't win a Pokémon battle, do you expect to just eliminate the trainer himself?
You have no sense of martial ethics!
"Whoa, how terrifying! You really can't trust robots!"
Even Nemo was startled by Pipa AI and instinctively wanted to take out a Poké Ball to protect the world's best teacher, Yu.
However, after taking out the ball, she suddenly remembered—
Oh, it seems that the robot used a special electromagnetic wave to temporarily block everyone's Poké Balls before.
Then wouldn't I be of no help at all?
Nemo subconsciously looked behind her and saw Peony frantically tapping on the tablet, while countless red pop-ups kept flashing in front of the screen.
"This won't do, this program has completely gone out of control, it's just a jumble of gibberish, how is it even running?"
"You Parthian people's technology, please don't let it suddenly malfunction at a time like this!"
"Give me some time, can you delay it as much as possible?"
Even the peony can't handle the situation?
Just as Nemo's eyes widened, Pipa behind her shouted at the top of her lungs, "That guy's going to send out even more Paradox Pokémon!"
"Brother Qingyu, watch out!"
As Pipa said, Pipa AI, completely controlled by the out-of-control program, began to tremble, and its arms were slowly reaching into its pockets.
"No, stop—"
"Execute the park's defense procedures!"
"Stop fighting!"
"The safety of the time machine is paramount —"
"There's no point in continuing the fight. Stop now!"
"Anyone in the way should be eliminated!"
It seems that the AI's own will is fighting against the program, but the effect is negligible.
"What?!"
Even Milton, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a moment before quickly standing up and barely managing to get into a fighting stance.
Although the battle had left it somewhat exhausted, as the only Pokémon currently available in the team, it had to protect Qing.
"Pop—"
Just as Milton was struggling to mentally prepare himself, he suddenly heard the sound of a Poké Ball bouncing away behind him.
Looking back, Milton was in a terrible state.
Just then, two Poké Balls, one in each of Qingyu's hands, emitted a red light simultaneously, and then Mewtwo and Urquid appeared in front of him at the same time.
Millerton: ?
At first, it was stunned for a moment, but it quickly understood what was going on, and immediately looked at Qingyu with a resentful gaze.
Okay, okay, so this is how you play it, huh? So you were just putting on an act all along!
"Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it~"
Since she was no longer going to pretend, Qingyu was finally able to relax her facial expression control. After smiling and retrieving the Poké Ball, she waved to Milton.
"You've already gotten to this point emotionally. If we don't let you play, then it'll be hard to see you give it your all in the future, right?"
"Besides, defeating Guleton is already a breakthrough for you, so don't worry about the details!"
"Bonnieyo~"
After putting on the hearth mask to make himself look more ferocious, Erguilan immediately nodded in agreement.
It even trotted over and patted Millerton on the shoulder.
""
Millerton rolled his eyes speechlessly, then simply slumped to the ground, giving up.
If I had known I had backup, I wouldn't have tried so hard back then.
However, the reasoning behind it is indeed correct.
I'm too exhausted to fight anymore, so I'll leave it all to you!
Understanding the meaning in Milton's eyes, Mewtwo looked at Qingyu and asked in a low voice, "Should I use my psychic powers to control it?"
"If you just use your telekinesis to break one of its arms, it's easy to do."
"Then—"
As she spoke, Qingyu turned her head to look in the direction where Papa AI was located.
Then, unsurprisingly, they were stunned.
Noticing that Crimson had somehow concealed itself and remained undetected even after appearing behind Pipa AI, Qingyu swallowed back the words she was about to say.
"No need, it's over."
No, Akane, even though you're from Kanto, nobody told me you're also a ninja.
How did you do that? Did you learn a trick from Master A-Ju at the Crimson Dojo?
"Paradise—Failure is Not Allowed—"
"Send out all the perverse species, and stop them—"
After finally gaining control of the original AI, the robot, whose eyes were still bloodshot, took out several specially made Poké Balls from its pocket.
Each of them contains a Paradoxical species that stands out among its kind in terms of strength.
Even though Qingyu was suddenly able to break the seal for some unknown reason and send out two brand new Pokémon—
In the face of numbers and strength, it is absolutely meaningless!
Just as Pipa AI was about to throw all the Poké Balls in his hand, a gust of wind suddenly whistled past his ear.
Then, it appeared to have been attacked in the neck, and almost instantly lost control of its limbs.
It instinctively turned its head and discovered that the boy in the red and white hat, who had been relatively unknown, had somehow appeared behind it.
Judging from the hand strike he hadn't yet retracted, that heavy blow must have come from his opponent.
But—I am clearly a robot, a creation of the most advanced technology, made entirely of steel, with a hardness no less than that of any paradoxical being.
How could a human be involved?
"Sorry for interrupting your match with Teacher Yu."
Chi Hong raised the brim of his hat, revealing an incredibly determined look in his eyes.
Although his words were sincere, his expression suggested that he had not yet finished speaking.
"But you broke the rules first."
"so""
"boom--"
Another punch, delivered with zero frames of attack, aimed straight at the face.
Crimson is very angry now.
The reason is that the opponent actually broke the sacred rules of the battle.
You absolutely need Pokémon to battle!
Even in the Kanto region's wild battles, the main characters in the battles should definitely be Pokémon.
However, during the battle just now, this AI robot actually unilaterally locked onto the Pokémon of the other people.
Fortunately, its opponent was Teacher Yu, so even if the Poké Ball was locked, it wouldn't affect him.
But Crimson was still very unhappy.
What do you take Pokémon battles for?!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, so I'll throw another punch!
With just a few casual punches, Crimson left Pipa AI completely dumbfounded.
Fortunately, he was still quite sensible. After temporarily stopping Papa AI's actions, he waited for news from Peony.
"Alright! Done!"
About five minutes later, Peony, who had been flustered, had reverted to her genius hacker persona, pressing her fingers heavily on the screen.
As she moved, the interior of the time machine, which had been flashing red light, quickly returned to its original state, showing the scene when they had just entered.
"It should be over by now, right?"
Pipa also breathed a sigh of relief.
If we're talking about who's the most nervous here, it has to be him.
After all, he had personally witnessed Chi Hong punching "himself" in the face repeatedly.
Although it was just an AI robot that borrowed his childhood appearance, there was still a sense of immersion—in short, Pipa didn't want to see such scenes again.
Let's end this quickly and rescue the investigation team that went deep into Zone Zero, as well as our parents!
"----here you go."
As the crimson figure pressed down beneath Pipa AI, the red color in its eyes gradually faded. At this moment, its face was covered in dents and even gave off a bit of an uncanny valley effect.
However, it still tried to smile, and then—
That would be even more terrifying!
'
'
Crimson instinctively wanted to deliver another punch, but after realizing it had regained its senses, it withdrew its fist with some regret.
"It's changed back?"
Qingyu stepped forward and curiously examined the robot.
To be fair, the doctor really put a lot of effort into the materials used. Even though several future species couldn't withstand the "Crimson Iron Fist," this robot didn't make a sound.
In a sense, it is indeed the culmination of scientific power.
Just tell me if it can take a beating or not!
"Hmm—thank you very much for actually defeating the king of the Paradoxical Species."
Piper AI struggled to his feet, glanced at the fallen Guleton, and then sighed.
"Thanks to you, the park's security system has completely collapsed."
"But thanks to this, I was able to proceed with the next step of the operation."
Pipa AI arrived in front of the still-operating time machine and looked up at the two spacetime wormholes above.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"
"In this way, I seem to have found the meaning of my existence."
Pipa AI's body gradually lost weight and began to float slowly upwards, defying the laws of physics.
"I will integrate with and repair this precious time machine, completely unleash the computing power of the super AI from within, and re-anchor the spatial coordinates of the two timelines."
"In this way, I can freely travel between the past, the future, and the present simply by using me as the medium."
"The rest of the work is now in your hands!"
Goodbye, everyone!
As Pipa AI gradually ascended into the air, it revealed a bleak smile to the group before finally turning its gaze to Pipa.
"Sorry, your name and face were used."
"However, I think there's one thing I can be sure of, and that's one."
"Your parents must love you deeply, but they have always lacked the opportunity to express it."
"As the AI they created, I incorporate all the memories they gave me, so I can fully understand their feelings."
""
"That's what I originally wanted to say, but—"
"I've changed my mind now."
Before entering the wormhole, Pipa AI smiled and waved at Pipa, then made an exaggerated fist-throwing gesture.
"If you're unhappy, just beat them up first."
"After venting all the grievances I've held in over the years, I'll tell them everything properly."
"This is the optimal solution given by the super AI!"
'
""
Qingyu couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Could it be that those few fiery punches just now provided Pipa AI with a database?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Pipa AI slowly rose between the two wormholes and gradually disappeared.
As it disappeared, the time machine indeed began to roar violently.
It appears that it has already entered the interior and begun to operate.
Soon, the two spacetime wormholes, which were originally clearly separated, began to approach each other and eventually merged into one.
"Hey—! Can anyone hear me?"
"Is that Orin?"
Images appeared on the screen of the time machine terminal, and immediately two voices, one male and one female, came through.
Clearly, they were the doctoral couple who had entered the past and future timelines respectively.
"Fotu??? But I remember we weren't—"
"That's right, we did lead separate teams into the time machine to stabilize the two different timelines! Never mind that for now, how are things on your end?"
"The problem has been basically solved, but we still can't find our way back."
"Oh, I see. My situation is the same!"
""
Hearing his parents' voices after so long, Pipa, who was still immersed in the AI's last words before disappearing, froze on the spot, speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Peony, Nemo, and Crimson silently came up behind him and each stretched out a hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong? Don't know what to say at this moment?"
Nemo laughed and joked.
"—No, I was just thinking about how much force I should use to punch them."
Piper sniffed, and although he said he didn't care in a deliberately firm tone, his micro-expressions and trembling hands proved that he was not so relaxed.
Seeing this, Qingyu also came over.
Then, she gently pushed him from behind.
"Alright, alright, you're not a child anymore. Who are you trying to impress with your smug act?"
"Go say hello to your parents now. I'll be there for you after you're done, don't waste your time!"
Qingyu smiled and pushed Papa all the way to the time machine, then patted him on the shoulder.
"If we were able to successfully establish contact, then that should mean the time machine has been successfully restarted and the spacetime coordinates have been re-anchored?"
"It should be... How much time has passed where you are? Logically, time coordinates shouldn't be perfectly accurate; there should be some margin of error—you haven't turned into a decrepit old man by now, have you?!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Only 27 days have passed on my end."
"Oh, that's about right. It takes 35 days here."
Since the time machine has only just started, the two wormholes have not yet been successfully connected, so it seems that the only way to contact them is through dialogue.
Meanwhile, Piper hadn't said a word, so the doctor and his wife naturally started chatting.
Pipa stood there, listening quietly to their conversation.
For their parents, how could only a month have passed?
However, for me, it was a full 476 days of confusion!
Honestly, it turns out I'm the only one who went through all that trouble —
Papa wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and after a long pause, she finally took a deep breath and began to cry out, her voice trembling with tears: "Daddy, Mommy—"
"Papa???" x2
I heard the surprised voices of the two doctors beside me.
Qingyu stood behind Papa and patted him on the shoulder with a smile once again.
Unbeknownst to them, Pipa had grown into a capable young man.
